Hi, i made an other hour of drawing session and i thought that maybe I am getting a little worse from the previous lessons, i don't know why I just have a weird feeling.

I do not have an "aim" per say. I just make the faces the same way i do figure drawing. basically i symplify the face like a logo and i put the elements in the way that makes it the more dynamic. And also a tutorial on youtube that is overlaying my inner thoughts and i get lost in my process, so here is why after the first face the result is kinda shoty. I searched for other methods and there are none that have a more free flowing method. It is all a bunch of repetitions and measures that clog the canvas. I hate both the Loomis method and the Reilly one because they pretend i should draw like a geometer with all those planes and details that makes me wanna give up drawing entirely.

if having that process in mind means i can draw without needing it i'll swallow the bullet then. but first i wil have a lot of problems even folllowing the process, it will look like a mess and for my experience messes are not something i learn a lot from.

I am sorry but after seeing some tutorials, that method is atrocious to follow. basically is subdividing on top of drawing circles on top of other subdivisions, and that is just the front position. There has to be a more intuitive way to draw a face that can be used for different proportions, right?

Hi, since i am having bad luck with poses i tried doing faces for the first time. https://imgur.com/a/hU6l7vh

Hi, after the 2 hour drawing session is like my brain is sucked dry to try aagain and no joke, is like i don't remember how to draw well. My lines are random, i forget proportions and when i try to redo all over again i feel too tired.

Hi I did my first 2 hour class session and... look i was really tired that day so it might feel obvious why it doesn't look as good

Hey, see? You nailed it better at your first attempt. It doesn't even need to be completed 100% if you get the most important lines first.

Nex tip, try drawing the head as a D. that way it also adds to the lines of the body

About the shading part i think you meant by this. About the sketchy lineart, i don't know, man. I started using messier lines but it came out as an imprecise mess. https://imgur.com/YqwyRpF

Maybe if i have an example i would understand this a lot better.

Anyways, thanks

I tried it again and this is the result.

thanks for the feedbacks.

I tried to learn as much as possible from that video and i got that my technique is only a part of the bigger picture. Anyways I do not understand what he is saying, like in the section of intuitive proportions, his "wrong example" does not seem to be negative compared to the good one, because most importanly it is even better than how i usually draw, so I imagine how much of a bad example i would be to him. Anyways i tried again and this is the result. I took 5 minutes because it is impossible for me even to think the right lines (4 seconds for each one is literally light speed mental reflex).

this is my new 1 hour lesson, each image cooresponds at different times signed by the timer. the very last one left me with a lot of problems. I could not understand what parts should be simplified and it ended up being like that. There is something about those legs that makes it more wooden than it is supposed to.

I know what you are talking about. The worst part is that they lead you to believe that if you cannot understand the pose in less than 10 seconds then you are incapable to be an artist. I even think that not everybody can understand a subject instantly, and that's ok. It took me time to understand that 10 second poses don't teach me a thing, no matter how I try, it felt like I was wasting time.

Hi, i tried collecting as much as feedback i could and i changed my way to draw. If i am not wrong basically all figure studies are basically logo symplifications of the pose from reference, and the more time you have, the more smaller curves you can add to it.

So, this is the result
